In reply to Mark Collins:
> It doesn't usually arrive before the actual start of the festival, this is down to last minute film arrivals I believe, and scheduling them into the plan. So your first job upon arrival in Kendal is to get yourself down to the Brewery Arts ticket office, and buy a programme (which includes the film schedule) from the stall opposite, then retire to a comfortable snug to plan the rest of your weekend. Well, that's what I do anyway.
Good advice, although it does mean that every year the Thursday night gets lost in the Vats Bar planning and catching up with old mates...
